Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0036526A1] A method of processing digital material comprising program code and data is disclosed, the method comprising the steps of: running the program code on a computing device until a predetermined execution point is reached, and execution state existing at the execution point; and forming a combined representation of the execution state, data and program code at that execution point, the data, code and execution state being restorable from said representation so that execution of the material may subsequently be resumed from the execution point on a remote computing device. Preferably, prior to the execution point, customization information is provided whereby the representation is customized by the information. The information may include information identifying an intended user of the material, information identifying an intended machine on which the material is subsequently to be run, information specifying the number of times the digital material may be run and/or information configuring the digital material. Particular applications for the sale of video and audio files on demand are disclosed.
